Unlike true Emeralds, which contain Beryl, Mutokolite’s hue comes from high Chromium content within its layered, sheet-like Mica structure, displaying a pearly to vitreous lustre and often encased in a silky silver Mica Schist matrix. Highly valued for its gemmy quality and intricate patterns, making it a distinctive unique gem that highlights the geological richness of the Mutoko region.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChrome Muscovite, \u003c\/span\u003eMica Schist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMatrix, Gemmy, Fluorescent\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT COLOUR \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eGreen, Silver, White\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e2 to 2.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLocality = Mutoko, Zimbabwe\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Very Good Grade\u003cbr\u003eSize = 80 - 85 mm \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMERALD MICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50131490570433,"sku":"181-894-260409KW","price":1904.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/181894_2.jpg?v=1776175102","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/polished-emerald-mica-mutokolite-standing-free-forms-x-3-from-mutoko-zimbabwe-32","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
